When it first showed the symptoms, I thought it must be something on the Windows side that was holding ArtWorks up. However, when it *only* paused at Groups and at no other module, I inferred that it was something on the RISC OS side that was causing it. > Is Windows running anything (virus-checker, etc.)? I never leave it running a task like that while in RISC OS. Of course, it does its own thing periodically without any bidding from me but I think even Paul Vigay would draw the line at assuming Windows was ambushing Groups. :-) John -- John McCartney j.mccartney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.jm689.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ ------------------------------------------------------------ To change, suspend or cancel your subscription go to //www.freelists.org/list/artworks ------------------------------------------------------------
